Holiday Gift Deal: Melissa & Doug Drawing Pad

November 7, 2012

I love giving my kids art supplies for Christmas because I know they will actually get used instead of cluttering up the playroom. I was getting all ready to tell you about a hot deal on Amazon today on the Melissa & Doug drawing pad, but then I checked Toys R Us for price comparison and it is an even better deal there.

There is a catch: IT’s offered as an “add-on item,” which means you can only get the price if you buy it as part of a $25 minimum order. Here’s what Amazon says about the new Add-On Program:

“The Add-on program allows Amazon to offer thousands of low-priced items that would be cost-prohibitive to ship on their own. These items ship with qualifying orders over $25 and are eligible for FREE shipping.”

I’ll be keeping an eye out for these now that the holiday toy shopping season has begun.
